What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, under the National Headstone Program, Boulder Designs collects the project deposit, which is based on the total project cost, template, and material selected by the customer. Boulder Designs then provides the franchisee with the design, proof, and customer information.
Boulder Designs retains the project deposit, and the franchisee receives the remaining balance for the project. It is important to note that the gross revenue collected for the National Headstone Program is not subject to the 15% National Accounts Fee that is mentioned elsewhere in Item 6 of the FDD.
This arrangement means that Boulder Designs franchisees participating in the National Headstone Program do not receive the initial deposit directly. Instead, they receive the remaining balance after Boulder Designs has taken its share. This could impact the franchisee's cash flow, as they must complete the project before receiving full payment. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider this arrangement and its potential impact on their business operations and profitability.
